The alarming disease of this
country is nel Gus ce.c3lity and
prostration. It goes under
many names but it is essen
italy the same compliant.
Hospitals and private institu-
tions for nervous patients are
crowded. The average CT life
In the United States is de-
ereasing every year. SGlden
deaths from nervous collapse
among our business, profess
ional and public men are so
frequent Is scarcely to excite
remark. The majority Of sui
cides, committed without ap-
parent reason, or under so-called
"dep.ess of spn.its,'' are
really prompted by nervous
prostrstion, which is a fruitful
source of insanity and crime
with all their grief and horror.
These facts are startling.
They threaten the very life of
the nation. They assail the
sp1ings of it's power and pros
perity. They wreck manhood's
strength and wolnan's useful
ness and beauty.
Every one should know the
causes. What are they? The
answer is easy and terribly
plain: Our vicious personal
habits; our careless and lawless
eating and drinking; the in
tense mental and physical strain
arising from our mad race after
money, position and influence;
the fears and struggles OF pow
erty; the use of narcotics and
stimulants; our fashion of
turning day into night and
night into day; and, briefly,
our desperate willingness to
pay any price for an hours
pleasure or success. So we
burn life's candle at both ends
and fill the 1unatic asylums
and the graveyards.
The disease from which we
suffer and die is, in plain Eng
lish, Nervous Dyspepsia, as it
is seated in the Nerves and in
the organs of Digestion, 4Assim-
ilation and Nutrition. Healthy
digestion being impeded or des-
troyed, the whole body, nerves
included, is literally starred;
even when there is no ENACT
alton to tell the sad story.
Nervous prostration sends
out its warnings:-headache
In the morning; a persistent
dull heaviness or aching at the
base of the brain; wakefulness;
loss Of appetite and disgust with
food; loss of mental energy and
interest in ordinary duties and
business; restlessness and anx-
iety without any assignable
re ason; quotations; bad
breath; foul mucous on the
teeth; occasional giddiness;
palpi;ttatioa of the heart; sal
1owness of the skin; coated
tongue and gradual failure of
strength and ambition.
The remedy is total aban-
donment of the habits and Gus
toms which cause the disease
In each individual case, and the
use of Shaker Estract Of Roots
(Seigel's Syrup to cure the
mischief already done. This.
great remedy, prepared by the
Shaker Community of Mt. Leb-
anon, N. Y, is especially adapt
ed to eradicate Nervous Dys-
pepsia. To do this it acts
directly and gently but power
fully upon the disordered stom-
ach, liver and kidneys, restor-
ing their tone and vigor, pro-
noting the secretion of bile, ex-
pelling waste matters from the
system, and purifying the blood.
Upon the nervous system
Shaker Eatroct(Seigels Syrup
acts as a safe and wholesome
anodyne without the slightest
narcotic effect. and then leaves
